Eldest: OH GOOD GRIEF!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I made it through Eragon accidentally CURSING AN INFANT TO LEAD A HORRIBLE LIFE and not even warranting a slap on the wrist with it "oh, well that was bad of you...here, let me teach you to speak the language properly so you won't have further goofs" and then having it passed off as a good thing(sadly, before they changed it to a good thing, I was thinking that couldresult in a good story 16 or so years later...)

But now?

Well, I was going to try to post it word for word, but I started gagging.  Basically, Eragon's oh so convenient "destiny" that makes him capable at everything and the perfect hero has now made him  absurdly pretty, but still manly enough that he can't be called pretty.

*gags*

Behold Eragon, the ultimate Gary Stu.

Everyone be happy that I did not have internet access the first 400 pages.

Murtagh, please show up and break his nose...

I added a couple of her books to my Amazon wish list(though specific book recs would be good...)

As kingcrankycat pointed out, we tend to be masochist's when it comes to Eragon.

I'd try Death of the Necromancer first, and if you like that, then the "Fall of Ile Rien" trilogy, which is sort of a sequel (the protagonist is the daughter of Necromancer's protagonist).



Death of the Necromancer is essentially a gaslight fantasy, with some mystery and slight horror elements.
